The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here. Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails! What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges." And some penguins don't run at all, we just hang out for the company! It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)
Since it is supposed to rain all week, starting tomorrow, I think I'll run instead of resting today. It's a recovery run, so only 4 or 5 miles.
Afternoon! I have 6 and weights tonight. I think it will still be nice outside, so planning on getting them outside.
Ginny, hope you enjoy your run today.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

PAD, awesome race! I hope that you had a good time.
School is closed today due to the proliferation of mass amounts of icy slush in parking lots and walkways around the schools. Maybe some freezing rain too, although it is now above freezing.
My daughter did make it back up to school yesterday. Think she left at the perfect time because Portland refroze badly overnight.
I will still run this evening, I think, even though I have the day off, because it's supposed to be warmer and not raining as much. 30s and raining with cold slushy feet is still no fun. Hopefully somebody else will come out to the group run.
Thanks, it was great!
